Don't look for anyone to want to appeal that one to the SCOTUS with the 5-4 that'll probably happen.

That will take until 2010 at the earliest. It has to go through two votes in the legislature and then be put on a ballot for the people to vote on.
I have heard some negative comments, but most people I know have reacted positively. I consider myself to lean more on the conservative side politically, but I wouldn't vote for an amendment to the state constitution making marriage legal to heterosexual couples only.
